The LEA-S500 is a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (Atomic Emission Spectroscopy) with bright analytical performance. The spectrometer combines the advantages of the recent developments in spectroscopy, laser technique and analytical Software. The LEA-S500 is a fully automated spectrometer permitting analysis of the composition of different solids, such as:
- metals and alloys
- ceramics
- glass
- plastics
- trace elements in pure materials
- compacted powder
The specially-designed laser as a spectrum excitation source allows one to analyze conducting/non-conducting materials, to considerably minimize the interaction between elements thus providing a generic calibration curve for a variety of element concentrations and also to eliminate the sample-preparation step.
By varying the laser pulse power, the area and depth of the damage surface one can analyze the composition and thickness of coating layers, thin films, impurities (trace elements, inclusions) and structural components.
The high-resolution spectrograph allows a high-quality aberration-free flat optical field to be obtained.
The multi-element spectrum detection system (2048 pixels CCD camera) ensures the fast data readout.
The triple (mechanical, electronic and Software) protection against laser irradiation provides the LEA-S500 safe operation.
